However, his world is shattered when the studio is sold, and he is ousted by the new owner's son. Humiliated and jobless, Andy decides to escape Los Angeles and signs a six-month rental agreement for a luxurious home in a small English town.

When Violet accidentally leaves behind her unfinished novel, Andy is captivated by its potential for adaptation into a film. This discovery sparks hope for both of them.
